DESCRIPTION

Catalyst is based upon Maypole, which you should consider for smaller projects.

The key concept of Catalyst is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).

See Catalyst::Manual for more documentation.

Omit the Catalyst::Plugin:: prefix from plugins. So Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module becomes My::Module.

use Catalyst 'My::Module';

You can also set special flags like -Debug and -Engine.

use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;

The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because they are loaded in the same order they appear.

-Debug

use Catalyst '-Debug';

is equivalent to

use Catalyst;
sub debug { 1 }

-Engine

Force Catalyst to use a specific engine. Omit the Catalyst::Engine:: prefix.

use Catalyst '-Engine=CGI';

METHODS

debug

Overload to enable debug messages.

config

Returns a hashref containing your applications settings.
